Day 37: Bicycling Across America – Port Dover, Ontario

Posted on by
You’ll see signs for curling in most medium and larger size towns

And Home
Sings me of sweet things
My life there has it’s own wings
To fly over the mountains
Though I’m standing still

The current plan is to meet Vanessa and her cousin Liane near Cooperstown NY next weekend. This requires me to start slowing down or possibly take a zero or two, so that’s what I’m doing. I stopped early in Port Dover and hung out at the beach and ate ice cream like a regular person today after only 72 miles, La Dolce Vita. Like most things these days, though, it made me even more homesick for the smell of salt and the sea and of our home on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

Yes, lots more gravel roads. Damn you Google Maps!
